Solon, Plato, Aristotle & Socrates & Diogenes, or you can forward 4 centuries up to Musonius Rufus & Epectitus...
The point you are missing trying to prove the defense of authenticity of dating scripture, is ---->moot deflection. There is absolutely nothing in Christian, Judaic or Islamic scripture or theurgy that is even remotely original and even today the doctrines you think you hold so dear are as nebulous & varied today among the sects, as they were 2,000yrs ago
Even go back 2700 yrs ago, we find the Vatican even today essentially expounding the doctrine of the Persian Zoroastrians, apparently the Roman Catholic Church decided to remain Zoroastrians in there eschatology, ideas of evil & good, heaven & hell, angels & demons.
Nov 15th 1972.... this is pure Persian mythology here:
In Rome, Pope Paul VI inspired a debate within the Roman Catholic Church about whether Satan was a real being, or a metaphor for evil. In addressing an audience in a speech entitled "Liberaci dal male" ("Deliver us from evil"), the Pontiff spoke in Italian, and was quoted in one translation as saying "The evil which exists in the world is the result and an effect of the attack upon us and our society by a dark and hostile agent, the devil. Evil is not only a privation, but a living, spiritual, corrupt and corrupting being".
